CHAIN TO DECENTRALIZED CLOUD

Crust Preview Network "Maxwell" is now live

What is Crust

CRUST provides a decentralized storage network of Web3.0 ecosystem. It supports multiple storage layer protocols such as IPFS, and exposes storage interfaces to application layer. Crust’s technical stack is also capable of supporting a decentralized computing layer. It is designed to build a decentralized cloud ecosystem that values data privacy and ownership.

Guaranteed PoS Consensus

Crust’s GPoS (Guaranteed Proof of Stake) derives from PoS consensus. It requires nodes to provide storage resources as a guarantee to obtain staking quota, and encourages users to stake their tokens to high quality nodes via guarantee operation to obtain staking income.

Decentralized Cloud Storage Market

Crust’s DSM (Decentralized Storage Market) enables users to place storage orders on the chain, to get their data stored and distributed on Crust Network. With the back up of entire network, users can retrieve their data from everywhere at anytime.

Meaningful Proof of Work

Based on the TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology, Crust implements MPoW (Meaningful Proof of Work) mechanism to quantify meaningful storage resource usage and generate corresponding work report in a reliable way.

Decentralized Cloud in Web3.0

Serverless DApp / Website Hosting

Developers are able to deploy their own Dapps/websites based on Crust/IPFS Network. With this, developers are able to only focus on building Dapps/websites, no need for server management. Moreover, Crust Network incentives multiple nodes to store Dapp/website files and provide storage services, thus ensuring the high availability of Dapps/websites.

General Off-chain Data Storage

Some blockchain-based decentralized applications, such as NFT and decentralized social platforms, involve a large amount of user data, far beyond the on-chain storage capacity. Based on Crust/IPFS Network, developers can provide general off-chain data storage services for these applications.

Accelerated Content Delivery

Developers are able to build P2P content delivery network (CDN) services with Crust/IPFS Network. Crust Network incentivizes the nodes to spontaneously distribute CDN data and play the role of CDN edge nodes to accelerate the data transmission for CDN users.

Secured Cloud
Storage

Developers are able to build Cloud storage applications with Crust/IPFS Network. Without maintaining storage clusters, developers only need to integrate the SDK of Crust/IPFS into applications to provide users with stable storage services.
